Abstract:
FISHCRED is an Oregon statewide commercial fishing nonprofit organization focused on data management and support of marine spatial planning. FISCHRED was formed to serve as a central decision-making entity to act on behalf of the fishing industry and to guide, review, and approve of how fisheries data will be presented, utilized, or applied in the Territorial Sea Plan (TSP) and other planning/policy processes. In creating a statewide coalition of fishermen we seek to reduce conflicts associated with marine spatial planning.
